    Hey, seems like you are missing out on a little bit of information. Let me explain. I am not being negative, I would like you to get the best results out of your pairings and to understand how this works.

    In order to get piebald ball pythons you need 2 piebalds. Whether they both are piebald visual, or piebald hets. They are a recessive gene meaning you have to have both to get piebald babies.

    Piebald x piebald = piebald
    Piebald x normal het piebald = Piebald
    Normal het piebald x normal het piebald = piebald
    Normal x Normal = Normal
    Normal x Normal het pied = normal
    Normal x piebald = normal het piebald

    It cannot be "het for something". For example, I have a clown ball python which is also recessive and I also have a piebald. If I were to breed my piebald to my clown all the babies would come out looking normal but end up a double het for clown and pied but no, I would not get pied or clowns out of them.

    Markers are NEVER a good way to determine whether your snake is het for something. I have a male spider het pied that does not at all have pied markers, but his father was spider 100% het pied while his mother was visual pied. I have a guaranteed 100% het pied. I have a normal that is just a normal female, she does have the "pied markers" but she is not pied at all.

    This works with all recessive morphs. I know you are excited to pied out of your pairings, but I am really sorry, you have to have a female and male pied or het pied for it to happen.
